Groups and individuals behind the action argue rule is unconstitutional. .
A group of 16 individuals, churches and businesses are suing Gov. Tim Walz over his statewide mask mandate for indoor spaces.
Their suit, filed Thursday in Ramsey County District Court, argues that the requirement is unconstitutional, conflicts with state laws, and imposes an undue burden on business owners. It also demands that Walz, state Attorney General Keith Ellison and Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom either show it is consistent with state law or end enforcement of the mandate.
Walz faces several lawsuits related to the mask requirement, which he imposed in July to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Other lawsuits seek to strike down the requirement in churches and at polling places.
The latest legal challenge was filed by the Upper Midwest Law Center, an organization that describes its goal as limiting “governmental special interest and public union overreach.”
The group argues the mandate violates residents’ personal liberties while the science around mask effectiveness is unsettled “at best.”
...
Elizabeth Berg, one of the petitioners, said the rule creates an “impossible task for business owners” who must comply with the mask mandate while ensuring that people who have medical exemptions can visit their business.

I’m just wondering why some scam artist hasn’t come out with COVID glasses so you can see the virus to avoid the clouds of them milling about in the air.
MI’s Jack Booted Nazi Governor and AG have already started giving out $5,000 tickets on the mask mandate.
Who would be dumb enough to pay the fine?
The fine is just a threat to control the sheep.
Masks inhibit spread.
They don’t prevent spread.
Dust gets all over my house.
Virus particles get all over too.
Mask mandates?? Hell! What about your close my damn business mandates jerk off government!
Everything every restaurant every school every theater every gym should all be open now and you just take your little risk if they want to make you the side to sign some forms and you won’t see them because he got David fine but
everything should be open !!!!
restaurants indoor seating !!! Gyms! Bars! Houses of worship! No 6 foot nothing no masks nothing
everything now now now now yesterday
People are already getting way too complacent at complying with ridiculous government mandates !! it must end now!
Employers are paying the fine. If a store etc is found not enforcing the mask mandate they get a $ 5,000 fine.
They are sneaking around the laws and are using MI-OSHA to issue the fines.
That Nazi bitch is evil!
WHO guidance: Healthy people should wear masks only when ‘taking care of’ coronavirus patients… In late May, more than two months after the WHO declared a global pandemic, it was still recommending that only the sick and those taking care of the infected should wear masks…
A cloth mask is about as effective at stopping the virus as a chain link fence is in stopping a dust storm.. Masks are nothing but a sign of your obedience to tyranny…
“MIOSHA, which regulates workplace safety in Michigan, issued the citations under the “general duty” clause requiring employers to provide workplaces free from recognized hazards causing or likely to cause death or physical harm. The citation carries a fine of up to $7,000.”
‘Everything every restaurant every school every theater every gym should all be open now and you just take your little risk if they want to make you the side to sign some forms and you won’t see them because he got David fine but’
sounds like something out of Finnegans Wake...
